If you're interested in working on your pulls, Ultimate Rob is holding a clinic tomorrow (May 8) at no cost.  See his blurb on the clinic below:

Pulling is one of the most underrated parts of defense in ultimate.  With league just a few weeks away, now is a good time to work on your pulls.

It will be from 6:30 - 7:30pm at the South part of Stanley Park.  <https://maps.google.com/maps?daddr=Pulling+Clinic%4051.014686130374436%2C-114.07081961631775&t=m&z=16>.  Bring some discs, rain or shine the clinic will be on!

April Happenings

Tryouts and Open Practices

Have you started planning your summer season yet?

If you are interested in trying out for the 2013 women's competitive team, attending open practices and/or playing in Flowerbowl (in Vancouver on June 8-9), please fill out this survey.  There is more information at the top of the short survey.


Key details are:


- For those interested in playing competitive:
   > Players are asked to commit to the majority of Monday and Thursday practices from May to Aug
   > The team will be participating in 4 tournaments/camps held on weekends throughout the summer
   > Tryouts start on May 2 until June 6 on Thursdays

- For those interested in practices:

   > Open practices will begin after Spring League on May 13 and will run until June 3
   > Everyone is welcomed

All practices run from 6:30 to 8:30 pm.  Location TBD for Mondays and most likely at Market Mall fields on Thursdays. Please fill out the survey if you are at all interested in any of the above!  The survey will close this Friday (April 19th).

If you have any questions, please send an email to calgarywomensultimate@gmail.com.

Name Change

After some consideration by the captains, it was decided that the Wild Rose team name will prevail for another season.
The new name that was voted on was not entirely well-received and the captains have limited time to spend on a new jersey design/logo before the season begins.  So Wild Rose lives on for 2013!  Stay tuned for any future name change initiations.

All Sport One Day

SportCalgary runs an annual event called All Sport One Day every June, which is a free day of sport discovery for Calgary kids aged 6 to 12.

Calgary Ultimate is sending volunteers to teach 20 kids (between the ages of 9 and 12) about Ultimate and to serve as role models and ambassadors of the sport.  They are still looking for 4 lady volunteers.

Event details:
- Saturday, June 15
- 11:30 am to 3:00 pm
- Village Square Leisure Centre or Genesis Centre

If you are interested in volunteering or have any questions, please contact Charlene (communications@calgaryultimate.org).

Help WFDF Gain Recognition by the IOC

The World Flying Disc Federation (WFDF) is currently pursuing an application for official recognition by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and needs the ultimate community's help!  See Rob's post below:


WFDF continues to pursue our application for official recognition by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). The application we submitted last year is in the process of being updated as we need to respond to a set of entirely new questions that were introduced into the process effective as of January 1, 2013. Our application will be submitted in early March and hopefully will be considered at the May 2013 Executive Board meeting.

One of the new questions relates to social media, and asks for the number of followers on Facebook and Twitter. WFDF had only introduced its Facebook page last July during the WUGC and as of last weekend only had around 1,400 "likes" on Facebook and 700 followers on Twitter. We think it would be helpful to show a significantly higher amount of interest when we submit these figures to the IOC. Accordingly, we would appreciate it if you would publicize immediately WFDF's Facebook and Twitter accounts and ask your members and social media followers and their friends to also follow WFDF's pages. For reference, these are:

Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/worldflyingdisc
Twitter: http://twitter.com/WorldFlyingDisc

Thank you. We really appreciate your support. Wish us success.

Robert "Nob" Rauch
WFDF President
